Innocent until proven guilty, and then:

Happy happy birthday and many more!

How come an air marshal can take a loaded gun on a plane but can't take a pair of nail clippers because it is a restricted item. How come pilots have to be searched for weapons. To quote one pilot "They claim it is to make sure nothing is brought on board that could be used to gain access to the cockpit and take control of the plane. Damn it I'm in the cockpit and I have control of the plane".

Way to go!

Happy belated birthday!

Congratulations on the promotion!! I hate formal wear even more than you do. Moores seems to have nice stuff that won't break the bank. Also, check out Walmart, you'd be very supprised what you find there. I'm not a big fan of Giant Tiger, but the Sally Ann is the best and often has amazing stuff for only a couple of dollars.

That's simply outstanding Angela!

How to survive a zombie apocalypse Halloween is just around the corner: Prime time for an outbreak. Are you ready? Here's what you'll need to assemble your apocalyptic go-bag. The Centers for Disease Control has actually gone to the trouble of posting its own guide to battling the undead. So shouldn't you take at least a few precautions? The government's tongue-in-cheek communique includes a go-bag of practical products for surviving a zombie apocalypse, such as a utility knife, duct tape, a battery-powered radio and a first aid kit. There are also plenty of wish lists on Amazon.com to guide you. It's hard to tell whether these shoppers are serious or just getting ready for Halloween and next week's return of the AMC series "The Walking Dead." But if you want to be safe instead of sorry, here's what you need to avoid becoming lunch of the living dead. Ghost 400 crossbow Price: $599.99 from Barnett Crossbows Practical use: Zombie slaying Pro: Reusable ammo Con: It's not a gun The only way to kill a zombie is to shoot it through the brain or burn it. Guns and flamethrowers are unavailable on Amazon, so you'll have to settle for a crossbow. The Barnett Ghost 400 "is fully capable of taking down large game, small game, and yes, even zombies," said Barnett spokesman Major Person. "Head shots are a must for killing zombies and the Barnett is the most accurate crossbow on the market. Shoot to kill." Husqvarna chainsaw Price: $349 from Husqvara Practical use: Lop limbs off zombies Pro: Delivers massive trauma Con: High potential for collateral damage Meet the chainsaw, the star of every hillbilly horrorshow. One list author on Amazon described the Husqvara as "perfect if you're stuck in a corner" with the living dead. A chainsaw was spectacularly effective at dismembering undead Nazis in the 2009 film "Dead Snow." But don't try to saw zombies from a moving vehicle. You can accidentally bisect your friends, as shown in the 2004 remake of the cult classic "Dawn of the Dead." Orchid samurai sword Price: $1,599 from CAS Hanwei Practical use: Zombie decapitation Pro: The sheer awesomeness of owning a katana Con: Explaining to your wife that you bought a katana "A katana needs to be at the top of anyone's zombie survival kit if they're hoping for any kind of long term survival," said Blake Pogue, spokeswoman for CAS Hanwei, maker of this folded steel Orchid katana. "I mean, who is going to be making bullets after the apocalypse? I'd go for a no-frills decapitation when dispatching the zombie horde." Decapitation wouldn't kill the zombie -- a brain shot is required for that -- but it does allow for escape. Anti-riot helmet Price: $61.99 from Rothco Practical use: Protection against brain-eating zombies Pro: Visor deflects airborne fluids from the undead Con: Windshield wipers not included "Since zombies are well known for their appetite for eating brains, the high impact plastic construction should prove helpful in keeping one's mind intact in such an emergency," said Rothco sales director John Ottaviano. Also, the visor will protect you from flying zombie fluids so you won't get infected. "The last thing you want is to smash a zombie in the face and have the blood spray hit you in the eye or mouth," said one Amazon lister. Anti-riot armor Price: $545.95 from Damascus Protective Gear Practical use: Protection against zombie bites Pro: Protection against zombie bites (that's worth mentioning twice) Con: Unsuitable attire for beach lounging Bite me. That's what you can tell the zombies after you don this tooth-breaking FX1 FlexForce modular hard-shell, full-body crowd control armor. An armored human "can get mauled by a zombie and still be a survivor," said one Amazon list-writer. Bite prevention is essential, according to the Centers for Disease Control, which says "zombies are often depicted as being created by an infectious virus, which is passed on via bites and contact with bodily fluids." Skull-faced mask Price: $24.30 from ZANheadgear Practical use: None Pro: Looks cool Con: Unsuitable attire for a blind date It's not just about protection; it's also about aesthetics, which brings us to the neoprene skull-faced mask. "If you're going to kill zombies, look awesome while you're doing it," said an Amazon list author. Skull-faced ski masks are also worn by U.S. soldiers and Marines in Afghanistan. So if it's good enough for them, it's good enough for you and the zombies. Remember, you're dressing for the apocalypse, not the prom. Night vision goggles Price: $8,299 Practical use: See the undead in the dark Pro: The price won't matter in a zombie apocalypse Con: It costs $8,299 In Richard Matheson's 1954 novel, "I Am Legend," the original inspiration for the zombie-apocalypse genre, vampires stalk the last human survivor in plague-ridden Los Angeles. To deal with nocturnal vampires, you'll need this PS15-4 GEN night vision goggle system from American Technologies Network. The goggles have yet to be tested for "zombie detection," according to ATN spokesman Chris Shugart. But why not splurge? "Maybe you can't afford these on your usual budget," wrote an Amazon lister. " But you can drive yourself into debt because the banks will be overrun with zombies soon anyways."

Tall girls (or me on my knees) give the best hugs :

If you used to lift your license plate to gas up your car, you're old.

From the "You know you're old..." thread:

How about a Daphne and Velma duo?

Good for you Samantha and thank you very much for sharing. I only hope that your story inspires other ladies to contact the police should the need ever arise.

Ahh, yes. In this case you may preamp, as Ford mentioned. [Putting on my way-back thinking hat] It could also simply be a case of a dirty or worn needle, or a bad cartridge.

I'm not going to personally hug you today Mr. all hands, but I've sent in a replacement:

Good advice as always OD! I leanred abour succubi on South Park: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGwenvPzmL8 I think I'll pass on that :)

GOOD INFO A new social engineering scam has been launched a few days ago. The attack tries to scare you into opening the infected attachment by threatening to sue you for spamming. What the email claims is that your mail server has been sending spam to the outside world. The email is spoofed to appear as if they come from known and reputable companies. The attachment is a fake ZIP file that supposedly contains a scanned copy of a document that has evidence of your spam, but in reality is an EXE file that contains a Trojan downloader, which pulls in malware. The subject line varies, and contains threats that are designed to make some one worry and click on the link. This attack was reported on the Websense Blog: http://community.websense.com/blogs/securitylabs/archive/2011/09/20/_2200_We-are-going-to-sue-you_2200_-spam.aspx

And I thought I had a rough week! Some people are just nuts, I'm glad to hear you went to the police to put an end to it.

You should be able to connect it to most any TV that has video inputs. Left = White Right = Red Video = Yellow (don't use) You can switch the left & right, it doesn't matter to anyone but a true audiophile. You can also connect it to your computer using the audio line-input (or mic) jack using a cable link this:

I always wanted to do Alice, and be able to say to her "Alice, one of these days, straight to the moon".

Here's one safety tip I never thought would need telling, but I discovered today that it apparently does. Make sure that if your phone number is googled, something like your resume with your real name, home address, photo, etc. doesn't pop up at the top of the results list. In other words, have a phone number for SP work and a separate one for everything else.
